At Mount Laurel Animal Hospital, our oncology technicians are a vital part of the patient and client experience. This role requires a unique blend of technical skill, emotional intelligence, and teamwork.

Once your shift begins, you will step into a fast-paced, team-centered hospital environment where your role truly matters. A typical day may include preparing patients for appointments and treatments, obtaining histories, assisting with diagnostics, placing IV catheters, administering medications and chemotherapy as directed, monitoring patients during treatments, educating clients, and helping ensure that every patient visit is handled with compassion and precision. Throughout the day, you will help support patients receiving ongoing care while also serving as a reassuring and knowledgeable resource for the families who love them.
